Many people have noticed the song playing in the Best Wishes Season 2 trailer. Rica Matsumoto is singing the song very likely as Satoshi. Do you think its a new opening? Do you like what you can hear?

Re: New opening song?

That's gotta be the new opening. I love what I can make out so far.
 
Re: New opening song?

It sounds quite different from normal Rica Matsumoto fare (at least in my opinion) but at the same time it's still nostalgic and very Pokemon-like. I can't wait to hear the full thing and see the new opening!
 
Re: New opening song?

I love what I hear! It sounds so upbeat! :-D
 
Re: New opening song?

It sounds awesome, but I am still holding out hope for a Aoi/MamoMiya/Rica trio though ;__________;
 
Re: New opening song?

I should hope we get a new opening!

Even if it's not the one in the trailer, keeping the one we have now (or at least that footage) for new season (almost a new series) is just stupid. And even Shopro/OLM isn't THAT dumb (if so, we've reached whole new levels of idiocy :uhoh:)
 
Re: New opening song?

Well, It can't be season 2 without a new opening !
Hopefully , This time we will got a opening with human character !
 
Re: New opening song?

The songs are always nice, but for the love of god let it be a non-cgi opening or else i'll SCREAM
 
Re: New opening song?

I was hoping for a opening a la Together or Saikō - Everyday!, but this doesn't sound bad.
 
Re: New opening song?

I'd like something like Advance Adventure, honestly. I like what I can listen from the trailer, though. Hope for some spoilers in the opening. And some Giovanni evil boss scenes!
 
Re: New opening song?

It'd suck if they kept the same old opening while giving a new season, come on folks people are sick of the old one now. I'd like one with Ash/Dento/Iris in it running with there Pokemon in it like the old ones with awesme up beat music.
 
Re: New opening song?

It'll be a while before we find out at any rate. They seem to be keeping the details under wraps right now. We don't even know any ep titles yet.
 
Re: New opening song?

I'm not fond of the song I can hear in the background of the commercial...they should use Trust Me by Yuya Matushita as an opening sometime. Anyway, I wonder what the English song will be for the next anime series...I actually prefer the Japanese openings (though they haven't been my favorite) over the English openings.
 
The animation's going to honestly be how I determine if I like it. The song sounds fine in that trailer, if that is indeed Be An Arrow. If the same crap they spewed out for Best Wishes, I'll hate it. If it's got some energetic animation full of spoilers and anything to feed my nostalgia, it'll be a hit in my book. Loved Spurt, loved Saiko Everyday, loved Advanced Adventure. Honestly, they can't do worse than Best Wishes, anything that's not CGI and it'll be a step in the right direction. The song there was fine, but the animation killed it. Lets not repeat that now.
 
I don't care how the opening sound like or who sung it !!!
IS THERE GOING TO BE HUMAN CHARACTER IN THIS OPENING ?
IS IT GOING TO SHOW ACTION , SPORT AND FRIENDSHIP ??
OR
IS IT GOING TO BE ANOTHER CHEESY ANNOYING OPENING WITH CUTE LITTLE PIKACHU RUNNING AND DANCEING AROUND WITH OTHER CUTE LITTLE POKEMON ???
 
The opening will contain human characters and Pokémon and Team Rocket and it will all be splendid and amazing and bring world peace.
 
Hopefully it will be like the old openings like Advanced Adventure or the DP ones, in 2D and not all CGI with Pikachu running around with other Pokemon in it.

After all, if you're going to make the opening sequence CGI, then you should make the entire series CGI as well, of course, even then, the CGI animation of the BW opening isn't exactly on the Dreamworks level of excellence.
